I'm going to make an ongoing list of "THINGS TO STREAM"... I will update (delete and re-draft) this list as things are added and/or subtracted. Please feel free to reply with interests/requests.

There have already been many discussed, but I have forgotten most of them. Please remind me. 😅

#CoSoHorror #CoSoMovies #CoSoFilm #CoSoStreaming #WatchParty

-BLOOD DINER
-NOROI
-BRIGHTBURN

I need to make a new user guide with screenshots for anyone who wants to come check out Cinema dei Apocryphilia for #Scarefest, #Schlockfest, etc., because Discord can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but what it boils down to for joining a #WatchParty is:
1. Sign up at the link
2. Click on the server icon on the far left column
3. Click "join event" (once event starts)
4. Click "watch stream"
5. Chat in the "Live movie chat" section or right click on it and "mute channel" to stop notifications

@Apocryphiliac Oh, and offer a tip to be careful of joining other discords that aren't verified through the membership base of the core group your in. For your own general caution, ya know? *nodsnods.*

@PaganMother Tbh, I'm not sure I'm parsing that correctly... you're quantum leaps ahead of me in Discord knowledge so I cannot keep up. :) Are you saying that Discord newbies should be careful about which servers they sign up for there? If so, can you elaborate on the risks of that?

@Apocryphiliac There's occasional malicious bots and user attacks that will spam entire communities with invitation links to new groups. Always best to be wary of any links sent to a discord account unless you check with the sender and know them well enough to verify that they are in fact the person behind the account. But I'm saying to be careful of random spam in private messages on there, check and double check security settings on the user end for their safety.

@PaganMother I try to verify everyone is who they say they are, but tbh a lot of people have signed up lately and I've kinda let it slip. I need to up my game. Thanks for the heads up!

@PaganMother I changed the verification level in the server to "Must have a verified phone on their Discord account," and also "scan media content" for all members. Hopefully that'll reduce the risk.

I need to figure out how to put a TOS in there for people to see at sign-up. Also, is there a way to make the server private and only accessible via pending admin permission? 🤔

@Apocryphiliac I believe so, lettme check on my end and I'll get back to you with more information.

@Apocryphiliac Okay, so for community servers you have to meet certain qualifications and it must be public, but the verification requirement is met along with the scanning of media content. It should be already private with access to the server via invitation only, but if you are willing to let me take a look at the admin settings, I can see if there's anything I can switch to help out with securing things.

@PaganMother Thanks!

@Apocryphiliac No problem!

@Apocryphiliac The good news is you are secured more than what a normal private server would require. I did a double check on the discord faq guides to see if there's more that can be done to make sure it stays safely private. https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206143407-How-do-I-set-up-a-private-server- /nosanitize

@PaganMother I need to look further into all this when I have a chance, (hopefully tomorrow). Once again, thanks for the insights and link, and if I still have questions I won’t mind letting you look over settings, but it probably won’t be necessary. I tweaked that stuff long ago and permissions for non-admins (just me, myself and I) are pretty basic (mostly just allowed to view and post). That said, if I want to continue to grow and customize the server, I’ll definitely hit you up w/questions!🙏

@Apocryphiliac Sure thing, always happy to assist. ^^

@DocLaing I’ve heard of some folks having this issue… They always manage to complete the signup, but I’ve got to work out what the deal is. Sorry you’re having issues, Doc. After I finish dinner I’ll see if I can help you work it out more.

@Apocryphiliac
Right on. Tried it on app and browser. Stopping point is the captcha. It just keeps repeating.

@DocLaing Check this out... hopefully it's a fix. https://10scopes.com/fix-discord-captcha-not-working/

@Apocryphiliac
Thanx I got it. Had to use a different email.

@DocLaing odd… well I’m glad you got it working!

@Apocryphiliac
I need your discord username. So I can send a friend request.

@DocLaing should be good now. 👍

@Apocryphiliac
Like anything new, I just have to figure out how the site works. I’ll tinker with it tomorrow.

@DocLaing I figure everyone is going to have a learning curve on it. I know I did when I started. Even still, I just barely know how to operate it. 👍
